Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at Hostal Amigo in the centre of Mexico City to begin our day trip to San Miguel de Allende. Throughout the approximately 4-hour journey, you'll have the chance to admire incredible scenic views.
Once we arrive at San Miguel de Allende, we'll go on a 1.5-hour guided tour of the city's main landmarks. We'll see the iconic Parish of Saint Michael the Archangel, the Jardín Principal, the Temple of San Francisco, the Casa de Allende, and the Plaza Cívica, amongst other emblematic spots.
Throughout the tour, we'll also learn more about the history of Mexico. In front of the Municipal Palace, we'll get to know the importance of Miguel Ignacio Allende in the War of Independence, a crucial event that marked the end of Spanish rule and the birth of the First Mexican Empire.
Additionally, we'll venture into the Artisanal Market, a spot filled with colours and creativity where you'll get to marvel at, and even purchase, products made out of papier maché, blown glass, and metals. You'll be amazed by this place's beauty!

You can try some of the local cuisine in some of the city's restaurants or markets, visit renowned art galleries, and swing by the viewpoint to capture scenic views of the city. You can't miss it!
